Ok so i bought a 1986 ford ranger about two weeks ago and was told it ran good and all it needed was a new clutch.Well , i bought a clutch kit , had my flywheel resurfaced , etc and installed it all. Afterwards , i throw a battery on the truck in an attempt to start it and all i get is this pop sound.Ok , so i go make sure the cables have good connection and i know the battery has charge because i charged it all night basically , and i get back in the truck and try'd it again...once again , pop. So i get to thinking , it sounds like it coming from the starter relay thing (thing bolted on the fender basically right beside the batt.)So my dad had a new one and i replaced it. Still only a pop , ended up switching starters as well..STILL pops...wtf could it be? anyone have any ideas? Oh yes..the motor is a 2.3 out of an '89 mustang..lol
